They accomplish the tions safety study and review program for Air Force Logistics Command. They represent the command on the Munitions Safety Board, made up of technically qualified weapons safety personnel who have a direct interest in or are responsible for verifying munitions and explosives safety of devices and their munitions peculiar equipment.

Technical information must be published providing users with storage criteria, loading information and rapid assembly instructions if appropriate. Accomplishment will assure that explosives and munitions will be safe to store, handle and transport and that they will be serviceable and usable when needed to defend the non-nucle- country. An important part of processing the items is applying system safety into their design to minimize loss of personnel and materiel resources through mishap and to preserve the combat capability of the Air Force by ensuring system safety is applied Hill munitions and related devices being developed by the Air Force or being procured from other sources. They determine whether the required level of safety is achieved during all of the munition's life cycle, i.e., all phases of development, production and Air Force use, including transportation, handling, maintenance, employment and disposal from program initiation through item removal from the Air Force inventory. They also ensure new or modified munitions systems, including those obtained from other U.S. military services, as well as foreign sources, are evaluated against Air Force safety criteria, standards and safety requirements. Munitions don't just happen to find their way into the Air Force inventory. Great care and ingenuity goes into designing an item and assuring safety and inreliability are engineered into it.

The head-u- p display software test stand is a test station enabling engineers to develop and maintain the HUD OFP. All inputs are modeled by computer software and all outputs can be monitored and recorded.

Part of the program management transfer of the to this center included responsibilities for operational flight programs for all avionic flight test problems and flight F-1- 6 problems and incidents can be investigated and duplicated. F-1- 6 Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force needed the head-udisplay software test stand and had requested a contractor to provide costs for building one. Costs were estimated at $2.5 milp lion, using existing Israeli hardware costing $500,000, for a total cost of about $3 million. This center also contracted a software test stand for the stores management operational flight program for approximately $3 million. After considering the costs, Hill F-1- 6 AFB personnel made the decision that it would be less expensive to develop the head-udisplay software test rather than by constand tracting. Consequently, software, hardware, and requirements and project direction were accomplished. The initial phase was completed in March and a copy of the software test stand made available for Israeli Air Force personnel with installation, checkout and familiarization training provided by Hill personnel. p in-hous- e, TVL.
